Legendary musician Fats Domino dies aged 89

Rock and Roll legend Fats Domino died Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La.

With a friendly smile and broken voice, Domino sold more than 110 million records and his hits included Blueberry Hill, Ain't That a Shame and Walking To New Orleans. "Ain't That a Shame", a rocker that Domino performed in the 1956 movie "Shake, Rattle and Rock!", enjoyed moderate chart success before it was eclipsed by Pat Boone's watered-down cover version.

Born Antoine Dominique Domino Jr., on February 26, 1928, in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, Domino started in the music scene at a young age, dropping out of high school and playing in local bars. He was taught to the piano by his brother-in-law and began performing in music clubs and bars in the 1940s.

The blues and rock n' roll musician wasn't one for interviews, but in 2006 he spoke to CBS News after Hurricane Katrina devastated his home city. The work was helped by proceeds from a tribute album to Domino, "Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino", featuring covers of his songs by musicians including McCartney, Willie Nelson and Elton John.
